14 May , 1:30 pm - 2011

It was about 85º at the Bee Yard.

Beta Hive
Checked on two honey supers and found that the bees are beginning the capping process!!!!
Didn't do anything else to this hive.

Alpha Hive
Opened up the hive and inspected every frame. Did not find any eggs/larva or brood!!! And I did not find a Queen???!!! I did not find any wax moth or hive beetle.

Frames 7,8,9,10 have capped honey, pollen and curing nectar. Frames 6,5, pollen and some curing honey. The remaining frames are empty and there are bees roaming around on them.

I will order a queen for this hive Monday from Gardener's Apiaries out of GA.
